Alleged Advancement Edition>I want to learn the game, where do I begin?Download PTCGL at https://tcg.pokemon.com/en-us/tcglThe game has a quick tutorial and a bunch of decent decks to get you started against other beginners or against the AI. Some of those decks are very close to meta too. You can also go to your local game store and see if people are playing Pokémon.>I know how to play, how do I make my own deck?You have a decent beginner's guide at https://www.justinbasil.com/guideThere's also the old /tcg/ guide at https://imgur.com/a/W4NkOu6After that, look up meta decks and try to reverse engineer them to see how things work.>Where to find meta decks?For big irl events, go to https://limitlesstcg.com/decksFor online events, go to https://play.limitlesstcg.com/decks?game=PTCGFor japanese events, go to https://pokecabook.com/archives/1417Previous thread: >>59455017Old /tcg/ pastebin: https://pastebin.com/Ge95YuMA
First for a spiky!
>>59486175>Posting a dead man's websiteYou are gonna curse the whole general!
>>59483612>Pult almost caught back up already
>>59486362>8% Lucario>LucarioWhere the fuck is Dhelmise turbo? Is Japan stupid?
>>59486461Sneak fucking sucks. You have no draw engine, struggle to deal with anything you can't OHKO (necessitating Spiritomb), and Spiritomb itself is a bitch to set up. It's also just a worse single-prize deck than Festival Lead, which applies to pretty much EVERY single-prize deck now.
>>59486461Dhelmise does not have a heavily favored matchup into dragapult when dragapult has the option of techs>yveltal boss clefairy almost guarantees trading 2 prizes after every ohko'd dragapult>hero's cape forces dhelmise to have black belt or kieran+brave bangle>watchtower usually bricks the dunsparce builds>dark bell with a 3-retreat dhelmise stuck in the active
this new board hurts my eyes
>>59486461Lucario KWABS rayquaza, that's it. And ghost veil loses by itself half the time.
In four days, I have not had a single game where I drew well. I genuinely might just stop playing this fucking game until the next season starts.
>>59486847Play the new B&B season in the meantime.
Back to brazil, monkey boy
>>59487096Don't make me actually test this deck out tonight.
>>59487167It sucks
>>59486834I would think lucario gets fugged if they're playing boufs and would still have a non-trivial time OHKOing fug without them
>>59487512Their bench is way too clogged up using kanga, ho'ohs, talonflame, terapagos. There's not even space to fit owls/rotom
>big local tournament in a few>many zoroarks>venusaur >lots of team rocketsigh... dragapult it is?... or beedrill...
>>59487616I don't understand the Victini. Is hitting 170 for the Meowth ex REALLY that important? How often are you going to Boss it up for game while having four Fire attached, compared to the number of games you lose or just become more difficult because you started with Victini in the active?
Oh, actually, I guess you also hit M-Excadrill for 340 and get the KO on that too. THAT might be important, I guess.
>>59486834>>59487512I don't think this matchup even matters when we will have mew ex legal before mega ray. Don't worry about Japan's format.>>59487622>>59487624victini only affects your evolution pokemon. I assumed the 170 was for mega excadrill, but it doesn't actually boost ho-oh.
>>59487629Oh. That's even WORSE. What the fuck is its purpose then?
>>59487507I'm still trying to solve the Dragapult MU but other than that it legit has answers to everything else in the meta
>>59487622>>59487632Was gonna say wtf why does it have a victini. Checking other lists none of them have it. Did they ironically forget it was evolutions only too lmaohttps://pokecabook.com/archives/328428Besides that victini oppsie that seems like the common core for rayquaza being used now. There's some eels and bellibolt versions or ray techs in slopbox
